After Gov. Greg Abbott ordered the deployment of more than 5,000 Texas National Guard troops across the state ahead of mass, anti-Trump protests, internal memos obtained by the American-Statesman reveal military leaders are scrambling to find and train enough personnel for the mission.

The legal battle between President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom continues over National Guard troops in Los Angeles after an appeals court temporarily overturns a ruling against the president's deployment.

Atlanta’s 5,000-capacity “No Kings” rally quickly reached its limit, with thousands more demonstrators gathered outside barriers to hear speakers in front of the state Capitol. Huge crowds marched in New York, Denver, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles, some behind “no kings” banners.

Governors aren't on the same page about the National Guard for "No Kings" protests. They are weighing public safety, and if Trump will step in.

People in San Antonio planned a demonstration on Saturday to condemn President Trump’s military parade in Washington D.C., which is meant in part to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. The “No-Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance” protest is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at Travis Park.

As of early Friday, the New Jersey National Guard has not been activated for the anti-Trump protests planned across the state Saturday.

An appeals court allowed Trump to keep the National Guard in L.A. The Trump administration denied involvement in Israel’s strikes on Iran. Kilmar Abrego García pleaded not guilty to human smuggling. A Smithsonian director resigned following Trump’s attempt to fire her.
